EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of a Bathing Machine from 1900. The image captures a rather formidable looking lady standing on the steps of the machine at Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, England. Dressed in typical Victorian attire, she appears to be contemplating whether it's too chilly for a dip in the sea.
The bathing machine was a common sight along seaside resorts during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, providing privacy and modesty for bathers as they changed into their swimwear before entering the water. This historical artifact offers us a glimpse into the past and how people enjoyed leisure activities by the sea.
The setting of Walton-on-the-Naze adds to the charm of this photograph, with its picturesque seaside backdrop. The lady's expression conveys a sense of curiosity and perhaps hesitation about taking a plunge into the cold waters.
This print is not just an image but also a portal to another era, allowing us to travel back in time and experience life as it was over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of how fashion, technology, and social norms have evolved throughout history. Let your imagination wander as you ponder what adventures awaited this lady on that chilly day by the sea.
